Controlled contacting of single-walled carbon nanotubes — •Daniel Secker1, Ralph Krupke1, Heiko B. Weber1, and Hilbert v.

We present a method to encapsulate the ends of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) in metallic leads. For this purpose we employed an inorganic shadow mask of Si3N4 patterned by e-beam lithography on a PMMA/Si3N4/SiO2/Si substrate [1]. The SWNTs are deposited between the contacts after a first evaporation step by applying an ac electric field making use of the dielectrophoretic force [2]. A second evaporation step encapsulates the ends of the SWNTs by the metallic leads. Therefore in contrast to marker-assisted e-beam lithography any exposure of the SWNTs to organic substances like PMMA is avoided. We present low-temperature electrical transport measurements with samples thus prepared.
